THE BIG UPDATE (Tier Updates, Future Plans, and More)

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give you all an update on whats to come, and also notify you of some big changes coming next month (June 2022). 

It's been quite a while since things have changed here, so long in fact that some if you might have noticed that some details in the Tiers don't really apply anymore, and haven't for a while.

Some of you may have also noticed that weekly sketches aren't really a thing anymore, or patron reward sketches were taken down awhile ago.

Next month (June 2022) I want to overhaul the Patron page to reflect my plans moving forward, and to update the rewards and the Tiers.

WHATS BEEN GOING ON
It's no secret that I don't nearly post as frequently anymore. The big reason to why is because I've been putting a lot of my daily energy into a unannounced SFW project as the director and lead artist. Me and a few of my closest friends are working hard to make something special that has been close to our hearts for decades now.

That said, I love making art and drawing for you guys, and that wont ever change. So I want to accommodate that as best as possible while not taking too much focus from my other obligations. 

THE PLANS GOING FORWARD

#1 - The ZeldaXUrbosa series will continue! I will be drawing more scenes of that in a semi-illustration comic format. I will also do small animations if able, similar to the other animations I've been doing for the FEGirls series.

#2 - The ZeldaXUrbosa series will also get a 3D adaptation! I've got models I want to "Uthstar-ify" and animate playing out the scenarios that I've drawn-and will draw. 

#3 - The FEGirls (aka BylethXStudents) series will continue, and will feature all of the women of Three Houses. Including the Teachers and Knights, however the students are the top priority as of right now. Some will feature animations, and other's wont. I do draw all of them in a way that allows them to be animated, but sometimes they just don't make the cut, or the time to make the animation is too much.

#4 - OrcsVsElves (Royalty vs Orcs, etc) I want to finish the character concepts for the elves, royalty, and the futa orcs. I also want to finish drawing some scenarios that remain unfinished, uncolored, or sketches. However, I primarily want to make 3D models of these characters and make hardcore animations with them. Something similar to Taimanin Asagi, or Kuroinu, or your general orc/ogre hardcore scene in hentai. I have a few ideas and concepts I want to animated, but it'll be a while before we see these ideas manifest. I have to finish the 2d concepts, model all of them, and finally rig them before I can animate.

#5 - The Patron Reward Sketches I owe. I owe a few of you out there a bit of sketches from several years back, and I want to make good on those obligations. Please email me, or message me here on Patreon and we can get started on those ASAP. If you don't get in contact with me, than I can't promise I'll get to your sketches. The payment records and emails of those where were subscribed to those tiers are buried, and I don't even know if Patreon will still let me look back that far.

TIER UPDATES

$1 Tier (Cadet) -  This tier will be changing to $2. I'm actually only getting a small portion of your $1 as of right now, and the rest is going to fee's and patreon. I outlasted as long as I could on this for your guy's sake. I hope all of you stick around and keep supporting me in this tier.

The new $2 tier (Cadet) will still provide the same rewards, however it will NO LONGER provide High resolution versions. It WILL contain all the addition alts, animations, comics, like normal.

The $5 tier (Officer) - This tier will be getting some additional benefits. This tier will now INCLUDE the High Resolution versions of all my work, and ADDITIONALLY be getting alts or sketch alts of images that were "thrown out" or "not used". These alts will either be unfinished sketches, or versions of animations or comics that didn't make the cut. 

The $10 tier (Ground Crew) - This Tier will include all of the $5 tier (Officer) rewards. I will be ADDING a channel on Discord for this tier reward, where I will ask for their feedback and suggestions on the current projects I'm working on. Allowing them to see full up to date WIP's, and also provide feedback and perhaps even decide on key elements. I look forward to working with you guys in the future in this tier!

IN CLOSING

I hope all of you will continue to support me, and I hope that my work continues to satisfy all of you. Please consider the new tier rewards and their benefits, and see what works best for you. In the end, if we lose a few of you to the $2 increase, I want to thank you all for your support up until now, and say that I appreciate your support dearly. It's been a slim and rough few years, all things considered. I am grateful for everyone's support throughout. It's allowed me to keep a roof over my head, and relatively not hungry.

Feel free to drop a comment on here on how you feel about these changes, or even voice some of your frustrations. I will also encourage you all to go back to some of your favorite posts of mine and share what you like about it, or just comment your thoughts. I love that stuff. Don't be afraid to get a little graphic either!
